Need advice and insight. A recruiter from Amazon reached Out to me regarding an associate corporate counsel position located in nyc, dc, or la. Does anyone have any idea what kind of interview questions will be asked? Is TC of $260k with $155k base on par with the position and location? Or negotiate?

Your recruiter will go over interview questions to expect. That’s the comp, it’s lockstep.

I’m certain you can find information on interviewing with Amazon and how to use the STAR method. It’s basically just telling a story from beginning to end.

What year are you? Also side bar - how long was the interview process?

No interview. 3yoe

I cant remember what they offered me base (think I was 10K or so higher) by TC sounds higher than what I was in line for (225-250 was the TC range) for 3 YOE.

This all probably makes since given this was 2 years ago.

Outside counsel has been prepping company witnesses for a trial in August. It is my subject area so I am supervising outside counsel. I did not, however, choose the counsel.

Trials are rare, and I just don’t think these guys have actually tried many cases. Cont. below…
